Maria Alfaro has been awarded the Brad Amack Memorial Scholarship for the 2013-14 academic year at Morgan Community College (MCC). The scholarship will assist Alfaro with tuition and fees at MCC. A Fort Morgan High School graduate, her goal is to complete an Associate in Applied Science degree and become a Registered Nurse.“My life goal is to work in a cancer center facility,” states Alfaro. “I have always wanted to do something in the medical field. I believe I would love being a nurse, not only because I like being around people but because I enjoy helping others.”Following the tradition set several years ago, Alfaro will be recognized at the annual Brad Amack Memorial Softball Tournament. The softball tournament is to be held on Saturday & Sunday, June 29-30 starting at 8 a.m. Entries ($150 per team) for the double–elimination softball event scheduled for the Joslin-Needham Softball Complex are due to Lance Schwindt at the City of Brush (970-842-5280). The tournament is limited to 16 teams with the top four to receive trophies.In addition to the softball tournament, an auction of donated items from area businesses and individuals will be held following play on Saturday afternoon beginning at 3:00 p.m. Proceeds from this year’s tournament and auction from the City of Brush, together with the Amack’s, will benefit the Brad Amack Memorial Scholarship Endowment.

The Brad Amack Memorial Scholarship Endowment through the MCC Foundation has been providing financial support for MCC students since it was established in 1998 by Walter and Donna Amack in memory of their son, Brad. The couple initiated and ran the annual Brad Amack Memorial Softball Tournament in Brush to support the scholarship for several years. Although the organizational part of the tournament is now handled by the City of Brush Recreation Department, the Amacks continue their involvement in the event that is now in its 16th year.
